I'm setting up a new "always on" box (DSL router/firewall, webserver, mailserver, fileserver, X10 controller, weather station monitor, etc) and I want to use 2 identical pci ethernet cards. My problem is, how can I _guarantee_ which card will be eth0 and which will be eth1.
The relevent lines in /etc/module.conf would be: alias eth0 ne2k-pci alias eth1 ne2k-pci The information I've been able to find says the first card it finds will be eth0 and the second eth1. This sounds a bit like a crapshoot to me. The only way to tell the cards apart is the hardware addresses and I don't know how or where to specify that. Any suggestions? The way I did it with the old box was to use one pci card and one isa card alias eth0 ne2k-pci alias eth1 ne 0x280 This is still plan b but it would use up my only ISA slot.
